It seems like the issues in education, and in teaching, recur. As representatives of teachers, district representatives strive to improve the working and professional lives of teachers. We do this work so that teachers are better able to educate their students on a daily basis.
In Alberta, it is up to the ATA to provide a voice that is research-based but also to provide a common sense direction and guidance to the provincial government. Especially in these times of a downturn in provincial revenues, a strong and experienced voice is needed to continue this direction. As your incumbent candidate for the Central District, I have both the experience and the passion to represent your best interests.
